Well me being the optimist I decided to give it a go against my better judgement. Because I am extremely disappointed in the 6.61 SI pic quality on my 1198, I figured it couldnt get worse. Well color me stupid. It locked it up tighter than a drum. Brand new unit only been on the water 5 times.
Pre fishing starts tomorrow. Tourney Sat. and get to run everything from the trolling motor unit I guess, so much for covering a lot of ground. To make matters worse I have it mounted in-dash. Some poor customers service rep aint gonna want to here from me tomorrow. But I am getting tired of these updates ever since the 360 and being a guinee pig. And just for the record, I have 4 units 898hd si, 858hd DI, 1198hd si, and 1158hd di. So I have done my share of updates, it is not like it was my first! OK that ends my rant.

Yep, did normal procedure I always do. Start unit, reset to fac defaults. Pop in card (freshly formatted) This is a higher version proceed (Yes) abort (No) and away she went. I gave up on it after 1 1/2 hours as I knew it was locked as I have never had one take more than 10 minutes.
Dang Hookit, sorry for the trouble! Now I am gun shy, or should I say Bird shy. Same problem as you and same thought, about what do I have to loose! Yikes!

Wow. I have loaded the updates on the SD card but didn't have time this evening. Might wait a few days now. Hope Humminbird can help without having to send unit in.
Thanks Rickie, guess I'll fish the weekend and then do the update! Unless I see some more horror stories!

Gotta send it in just like a I figured! Requested that it come back with 6.49 loaded so we will see. Also requested that they send me 6.49 for my 1158. All I want is my crisp clear SI and DI back! Has anyone seen any clear good clear pictures we had with any of the updates since 6.49?

That's exactly why I haven't loaded any more updates. I am happy with my images and with the 898's features that are presently in it. So I'm not updating just because HB says its there to use. Until my units won't work good any more, my units are as updated as they are gonna get.
